  SYMPLE – School of Hydrogeological Modeling

  Data Anaysis, Hydrogeology, Numerical modeling, Calibration, Uncertainty Analysis. SYMPLE proposes a School of Hydrogeological Modelling hosted by professionals and academics. The course will blend theory with practice in ways that our unique industry requires. Such courses are comparatively rare and urgently needed.
  
  The traditional workflow begins with field investigations, proceeds to the building of a conceptual model, and then seeks to build an often too complex numerical model on that basis. The underlying principle of this old approach is that we can deterministically simulate what happens under the ground. This is a demonstrably erroneous premise. The “traditional” method has been leading us to widespread distrust of what modelling can achieve.
  
  SYMPLE intends to promote and facilitate the understanding, use and evaluation of hydrogeological numerical models through a multidisciplinary program (the School) associated with the use of strategies aimed at solving specific problems (project-related strategy).
  
  Development of better strategies to address existing and pressing problems just requires the same data and software mostly already available (PEST and PEST++ suites), but a new mindset. And in many cases the modelling will be quicker and less expensive because it is:
  
  - management targeted;
  - no more complex than it needs to be to serve the decision-support demands;
  - supported by project-related strategies with associated specific software.
  
  That is, modelling will be complex enough to assimilate data and reduce uncertainty, but strategically simple because it is decision-focused.

  Professional Drilling Management – Online Course 2022

  Management of Borehole Drilling Projects and Programmes. This course will equip participants with knowledge on: groundwater information, siting, costing and pricing, procurement and contract management, borehole drilling and supervision and how professional water well drilling is affected by the wider regulatory framework and institutional environment. The course is designed for professionals already engaged in the management of water well drilling, or those that expect to do so, with an emphasis on low– and middle–income countries. Target participants include government, NGO, UN and donor organisation staff, as well as those working in the private sector. Participants may be working in development or humanitarian aid/emergency contexts.
  
  Interested applicants are welcome to apply between Tuesday, 10th May and Wednesday, 15th June 2022, with successful participants informed by 20th June. The course will start on Friday, 24th June and run up to the 29th October 2022. Note that there are only 250 places.
